This anti-oxygen code was only in Arora for one release. I of course
started getting many bug reports that the style looked wrong... no win
situation. :) It was only going to be in there until 4.3 was released
anyway. The only minor thing I noticed recently was that the
checkbox's in gmail are all cut off. A developer on #oxygen helped
me fix a bunch of the issues (sorry I forget who) this spring. If you
load up arora in 4.3 it doesn't look that bad now. When using Qt 4.6
we even get the icons in the menu's :)
